Santuario de San Sebastián de Yumbel, Catholic pilgrimage church in Yumbel, Chile
The sanctuary contains a 73-centimeter cedar wood statue of Saint Sebastian placed on the main altar of the three-naved building.
The church dates back to colonial times, with Saint Sebastian's patronage officially established in 1766 and the saint's image transferred from Chillan in 1663.
Every January 20, thousands of people gather at the sanctuary to celebrate the feast day of Saint Sebastian with processions and special services.
The church holds daily masses at 12:00, with additional services from Tuesday to Saturday at 10:00 and 17:00, broadcasting them through Facebook and Radio Centinela.
The temple features Tuscan-style architecture with wooden vaults, and the central nave rises higher than the two side aisles.
